Development of novel formulation technology for oral delivery of Sterculia Gum

“…In diarrhea conditions Heavy Kaolin gives relief from excess water loss [14][15] and 1% solution can prevent heat stroke by retaining water for a longer period of time [16][17][18]. Most of the country areas where water percentage is less; this formulation may help by maintaining the water concentration in the body for a longer period of time [18][19][20][21][22].…”
